Happy New Year, all. Week 17 has arrived with a bang, but for some teams, it will end with a whimper. After four months of often futile efforts to predict who will do what, where, and to whom, we finally have arrived at perhaps the least predictable week of all. Some of ...Published on: 15th December, 2009
I first ran across Bleacher Report in February of 2008. At the time, the Patriots had just been stunned by the Giants in Super Bowl XLII. I don't recall how I stumbled onto the site, but I do remember that it was a very different place then. My best description would ...Published on: 12th December, 2009
It never fails. Just when I think I've seen every possible twist of fate the New England Patriots have to weather, something else happens that leaves me wondering whether to laugh, or simply sigh and shake my head. The past few days have been filled with a whole new series of indications of ...Published on: 30th November, 2009
As the New England Patriots face yet another undefeated team in the New Orleans Saints tonight, it is almost impossible to avoid thinking about the 2007 Patriots. No, I'm not parroting the article in Sunday's Boston Globe comparing the 2009 Saints to the 2007 Patriots. It was an interesting read, but ...Published on: 9th October, 2009
The first quarter of the NFL regular season has come to a close, and some questions have been answered while others have been raised.

Benjarvus Green-Ellis does NOT rest his case. The Patriots' third-string running back made it clear Thursday night that he will not rest anything, least of all opposing defenses. "The Law Firm" scored three touchdowns in New England's 38-27 victory over the New York Giants, impressively powering into the end zone, shaking off, ...Published on: 3rd September, 2009

I had a feeling about this kind of thing when Twitter first entered my world a few months ago. I don't really Tweet but I joined so that I could "follow" some of my favorite athletes. Honestly, I can't even believe that I am using words like "Twitter" and "Tweet," and ...Published on: 12th August, 2009
The enigma we know as Bill Belichick understands football in the same way Albert Einstein understood E=mc2. What many people do not understand is that he also has a really firm grasp of some other fine points that he just doesn't choose to talk about. For that matter, he rarely speaks publicly about anything unless ...
